I once had somebody read out my name as "Key-mah-roose".
...okay, I really don't care if you pronounce it "Key-mah" or "Kai-mah", but... "ROOSE"? I actually asked the guy back, "Do you say 'danger-roose' instead of 'dangerous', or 'cal-loose' instead of 'callous'?" His reply was that of indignant embarrassment.

I also have a friend on steam his name is Queso as in cheese but some people have called him weird things like one time playing on 2fort a random guy calls him Qwesko and ever since that, that is the name I call him by
EVERYONE messes my real name up. Apparently, transliteration is a concept much too hard for the typical American to grasp.
The first part of my last name is the part that most people fuck up on. They pronounce it "Wi" (as in WiFi) when it's actually pronounced "Wii" (as in...do I really have to say where that's from?)
Jeez, I feel so insignificant now. I used to be the person that people feared when they bad mouthed Sony, I used to be a god amongst you men!Furburt said:
Oh, the days when I giggled when people typed my name. Still gives me a weird feeling whenever someone types "Jumplion".
I feel old all of a sudden...
My GT is pjb00 yet people persist in calling pe PJ Boo. It's really not hard to notice that its a zero, not an o.
My last name is Werblun, I have NEVER met a person who has pronounced it correctly, besides friends who I told how to correctly say it. They always say Werblum. I don't know where that M comes from or how they turn the N into an M, but I hate it. Once, in the year book, they actually spelt it Erbium. =(
My friends second name is Butcher. Just saying.
My forum name is often read out as Paladin, which is completely unrelated to what it means. When I made this name (at 11) I had no idea what a Paladin was.
My real name is a fuck load of trouble. Its Irish, so of course, queue on the thousands of mispellings possible.
Conor = Connor, Conner, Connar, Coner, Conar, Konor
Molloy = Molly, Moloy, Molley, Mollay, Mollie, Moleloy
It is pronounced CON - AH MOLE - OI, get it right world.

My real name is Chiké(Pronounced Chee-kay, it's Nigerian... Speaking of which I have an offer you may wanna hear.) I've heard people pronounce it Chike, Chicke, Cheekeekee and other stupid crap. My full first name is actually Chikézié and after that asshole from American Idol let them pronounce his name wrong Everyone started calling me Cha-key-zee (It's actually pronounced Chee-kay-zee-yay)That's my friends who did it to piss me off and people I don't know. I still have to deal with that last one since that name is on all of my official documents...
